Download or read book People Management Challenges to Multinational Companies in Asia written by Connie Zheng and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the contextual factors such as cultural and institutional settings that impact on effective people management practices in Asia. The challenges of multinational companies (MNCs) in the particular areas of attraction and retention, training and career development of the local skilled labour workforce are analysed using the data of 529 MNCs in six Asian countries (namely Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand). The degree of challenges varies by country and sector. This book draws conclusions from the empirical research stating that cultural and institutional theories, as well as the convergence and divergence theses can explain at best, partially, reasons behind the different outcomes of people management or human resource management (HRM) practices across MNCs in different operations in the region.

Download or read book Global Production Networking and Technological Change in East Asia written by Shahid Yusuf and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2004-07-01 with total page 501 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the coming decades, East Asian economies must face the challenges of an increasingly globalized marketplace. This book explores the changing parameters of competition in East Asia, and argues that success ultimately will depend on the ability of the region's firms to harness the potential of global production networks and to build their own innovative capability. Presenting the latest findings on global production networks and the evolution of technological capabilities, it provides researchers, students, and policymakers with in-depth information and analysis on key issues related to growth and development in East Asia. East Asian firms must not only achieve greater efficiency but also become more innovative, offering differentiated products in order to vie with other first-tier suppliers of multinational corporations. These firms will also need to develop a technological edge if they are to compete with corporations from the leading OECD countries and form their own global production networks. 'Global Production Networking and Technological Change in East Asia' argues that a development strategy linked to technological advance will be necessary to foster the growth of innovative national firms that can remain competitive in global markets.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Examining how meso- and macro-economic global change impacts human resource management policies of countries and the strategies of firms investing into or from key Asian countries is the focus of this ground-breaking study. The introductory section encompasses several chapters dealing with a number of current policy issues in core Asian countries, such as: China's drive for artificial intelligence; an evaluation of Japan's Abenomics; and regionalism. The section also analyses the evolving macro-economic framework surrounding the internationalization process of Chinese MNEs in European countries, and the specific case of Chinese investment in Japan. This overall framework concludes with an examination of the lifelong learning policies in a European Union country (namely Italy) opening thereby the discussion on human resource management (HRM) issues in the following section of the book. The study of human resource management policies and strategies is appraised from diverse complementary angles. The chapters in the second section of the book provide the reader with a detailed and up-to-date account of expatriation strategies from China, HRM strategies of French MNEs in China, teleworking, training and labor force issues in Japan and knowledge absorptive capacity issues in rural Thailand. Written by a core group of international experts, Changing Global Environment in Asia and Human Resource Management Strategies will appeal to students, scholars, policy makers as well as business practitioners studying and/or working in the areas of business studies, human resource management and international political economy"--

Download or read book Business Models and People Management in the Indian IT Industry written by Ashish Malik and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-03-24 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The global impact of so-called ‘offshoring’, including of information technology (IT) and related services, continues to be a topic of great interest to academics, practitioners and policy makers. The Indian IT industry has sustained high levels of growth in revenues and employment since the late 1980s. Even following the global financial crisis and meltdown in 2008, the industry has reported growth, albeit at a lower rate. Furthermore, the high rates of technological change and increased competition has forced businesses and managers to be innovative and create new business models. This book examines how managers and entrepreneurs in the Indian IT industry have explored and exploited human capital opportunities at various stages of the industry’s evolution to create innovative human resources (HR) practices and new business models. Based on extensive academic research and deep reflective practitioner accounts, this collection presents expert content, views and a coherent picture of the challenges and changes in the Indian IT industry and analyses how the industry has remained competitive in a constantly changing environment. This book will appeal to researchers, students and practitioners, particularly in the fields of human resources and strategic management.

Download or read book Hrd Practices in Apsrtc written by Dr. Santosha Pavani Tammineni and published by Partridge Publishing. This book was released on 2016-06-28 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A complete study on implementation of HRD practices in APSRTC at zonal level is rare in number. In contrast to the earlier practices, an attempt has been made by the researcher to trace out the impact of HRD practices on employees at zonal level and to investigate whether it is implemented in letter and spirit or not by reviewing operational performance of APSRTC and its financial function. This work is not only an in-depth study of HRD practices in APSRTC; the study also presents an overview of the road transport sector in India. With the advent of globalization, transport sectors are confronted with challenges in improving productivity by successfully meeting the intense level of competition from its counterparts. Business today is in a period of change and uncertainty. The success will largely depend on how these challenges are matched with the utilization of human resources that is at our disposal. It has been very unfortunate that the APSRTC has limited its human resource developmental practices for some cadres at apex level only without taking organizational climate of various zones into account while training their managerial personnel. But the need of the hour is to put more emphasis on all the HRD practices at managerial level in the background of their level of climate. The researcher looks at the problems of implementing HRD practices in the context of changing technological advancement and government policies.
